We modern westerners are strange. Our lack of interest in having large families is abnormal compared to human behaviour for the overwhelming majority of human history. With out resource limits, without access restrictions to good hunting and gathering lands, fisheries, prime agricultural and horticultural lands pre modern humans could easily double their population in a generation. Hence they could expand by a factor of 8 in a hundred years. That means without resource limits one couple in a thousand years could produce a population of over 2 billion.
This means in pre modern times genocide was the norm not the exception. External gencocide in primitive tribal egalitarian societies. internal genocide in the pre industrial, heirachical, complex agrarian societies. Of course genocide makes no sense in our modern abundance and less than replacement birth rates. I'm not arguing for genocide today, I'm just suggesting to people that they widen their minds to understand the actions of our ancestors.
You have no idea what kinds of struggle supposedly 'primitive' people went through. If one studies ancient human civilizations the struggle for daily life took up most of one's waking hours. Fetching water, repairing wooden or stone homes, raising crops. One of the most interesting chapters in Yuval Harari's book on "Homo Sapiens" is depicting how labor intensive agricultural societies are. All of human life is about struggle. All these ideas that heirarchical societies are the 'natural' order of this or that. You need to study the reality of human history in terms of technology, knowledge, medicine, etc. in depth.
Everything one sees driving down a highway represents what the reality is of human labor. Who prints the highway signs? Who lays down the asphalt and cement? Who paints the roads? Who builds the gas stations and delivers the petroleum? Who refines it? Who delivers the food for restaurants, cooks it, washes the dishes and waits on the customers? Who teaches the kids and cleans the bathrooms? Who does the law enforcement? Picks the crops? Does the data entry for hospitals and churches and gov't buildings? A vast network of workers. Not rich millionaires or elites. Not a very small amount of men with money. It is a huge group of lower class people. The backbone of human civilization. But somehow the Right thinks these people are expendable. In wars, in overburdening them with taxes and not enough wages to be able to get a home or start a family. It is extremely stupid.
All people usually strive for similar goals. Security, family life or a life of productive independence. Freedom and caring and love. Being fulfilled. Can't do it in a society set up to serve only warmongers and selfish rich people who don't give a shit who they need to use and kill to get what they want.
They are usually the kinds of men who think (pussy grabbing is ok). Women won't mind. After all they should not be able to choose who is allowed to grab something they were born with and which is supposed to be an organ made for reproduction and to have pleasure and feel pleasure from someone she chooses as a lover. It belongs to a fucking asshole who she never chose to allow to touch it or grab it because he has to feel he has the right to do that because he in his dumb mind thinks he owns the world and all the other human beings in them. That he is not going to end up in a cold grave someday dead because he is not mortal. He is a God. Who is the one living in a false world?
It is not the right of the pussy grabbers to determine who is worthy of respect or not. It is up to the entire society to give them some consequences so they KNOW they are not in their right to touch anything that is not belonging to them and which the women have a right to say, "No you ugly, disgusting piece of shit disrespectful bastard. You don't have a right to grab my pussy!"
